Subi
Joe and Nichole sent an update on Subi.
Swimming - We have taken Subi to George Rogers Park several times. The last time we went Subi accidentally fell into the water and found out she can swim just fine. We have not been back since.
School - Subi has finished puppy preschool. She is now able to sit, stand, down, stay, and poison (play dead). She walks well on a leash. She is doing well with staying out of trouble at home (staying off the couch and not chewing shoes). Next week she will start Puppy Agility class, which should be great fun.
Haircut - Subi got her first haircut 2 weeks ago. She is losing a lot of her white and it looks like she will look a lot like grandma Chili. We just cut her body—however it looks like she will loose most of the white on her legs, head and tail. She was not squirmy—seemed like she thought she was getting a massage.
Nail trimming - We have chosen to use the dremel method to
trim Subi’s nails. She does not like the dremel but seems to tolerate it long enough to get the job done.Vet - Subi only has her rabies vaccination remaining for her puppy shots. The Dr. has given her a clean bill of health. We will be giving Subi her heart worm preventative medicine soon. She is 21.5 pounds as of last week.
Trip to California - We went on a 3 day weekend to the bay area to visit with Nichole’s family. Subi got to meet the whole clan including niece (~1.5
years old). They played nicely together. She had her first experience of travelling that long of a distance in a car,staying in a hotel, staying in Nichole’s mothers house and watching Nichole’s dad ready his garden with a tractor. Meeting Nichole’s mothers German Sheppard Duchess. She played will with Duchess. She also met Nichole’s mothers Cat Puma. Puma did not take well to the new visitor so they never got to know each other. She got to meet grandmother with a walker and Oxygen tank. Amazingly she did not have any car sickness (she has had a few troubles with riding in the car). Everyone loved her. They were amazed at how good she was.Her home - Well we are still working on her puppy mansion. It now has all the walls up and doors to the largest portion of the run. We are working on the doors to the smaller section this weekend and installing hardware. After this weekend, the run should be complete enough for Subi to safely stay in her run during the day. This is a good thing, since earlier this week she wanted to go outside and it wasn’t happening fast enough so she reached up and pulled on the handle.
